Remodeling Company in Westchester, FL
Home remodeling in Westchester usually means working on a mid-century concrete block house built between the 1950s and 1970s, and that changes how every job gets priced and planned. Coral rock sits close to the surface here, flat or low-pitched roofs collect subtropical rain, and original jalousie windows still let humidity into too many living rooms. Penhallow Remodeling gives Westchester homeowners a written price before any work starts, plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every project. Call (850) 988-7559 to talk through what you’re planning.
Why Westchester Homes Are Different
Westchester’s construction industry is defined by the need to retrofit and harden the ubiquitous 1950s-60s concrete block and stucco homes against hurricane-force winds and flooding, a task made more urgent by post-Andrew building codes but constrained by the area’s dense, zero-lot-line suburban pattern. That density means our crews often work in tight side yards, coordinating material deliveries and dumpster placement with neighbors inches away. The coral rock substrate under much of Westchester complicates any job that involves digging: slab foundation repairs, new plumbing runs for a bathroom addition, or even setting posts for a patio cover. Rock chipping adds time and cost, and we plan for it from the first site visit rather than springing it on you after demo starts.
Most homes retain their original terrazzo floors, which are worth preserving whenever the remodel allows. We saw a Westchester kitchen last spring where the terrazzo ran through the entire main living area, so we built the new island footprint around it instead of cutting into it. The subtropical climate also drives a lot of our work here. Intense sun breaks down stucco and window seals faster than you’d expect, summer afternoon thunderstorms test every roof penetration, and humidity finds weak points in exterior walls. A remodel in Westchester isn’t just aesthetic; it’s usually a chance to fix the water intrusion and wind-resistance issues the original 1960s construction left behind.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Westchester Services
Most Westchester homeowners start with one of two calls: they want a general contractor to coordinate a larger project, or they’re ready to remodel a bathroom or kitchen that’s still wearing its original fixtures and layout. Here’s what each involves locally.
General Contractor in Westchester
Acting as your General Contractor in Westchester means we manage every trade, permit, and inspection from the first concrete assessment to the final walkthrough. On Westchester’s zero-lot-line lots, that coordination matters even more: material staging, dumpster placement, and access for concrete trucks all have to be planned around neighbors and narrow street frontages. We handle the permit process with Miami-Dade County, sequence the subs so you’re never paying for idle days, and keep the written price we gave you on day one.
Bathroom Remodeling in Westchester
A Bathroom Remodeling in Westchester project often starts with water damage hiding behind original 1960s tile or a cast iron tub that’s rusted through at the drain. The concrete block walls common here mean we’re usually rebuilding a shower with cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) and Schluter waterproofing membrane before the first tile goes up. We replace jalousie windows in bathrooms with impact-rated units so the room actually stays dry, then handle everything from the vanity to the exhaust fan.
Kitchen Remodeling in Westchester
Westchester kitchens built in the mid-century era were often closed off from the living area, with a single window and minimal counter space. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Westchester work usually involves opening up a load-bearing wall, which means sizing a steel beam or laminated header for the concrete block structure. We plan cabinet runs around preserving original terrazzo floors where possible, and we specify cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn with countertops from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, so the warranty chain behind the finish is as strong as ours.

Home Remodeling in Westchester
Home remodeling in Westchester usually means bringing a 1950s or 1960s concrete block house up to what your family actually needs now: better kitchen flow, a bathroom that doesn’t leak, windows that close tight against summer storms, and outdoor space you can use most of the year. The coral rock substrate and flat-roof profile of so many homes here mean a full Home Remodeling job is as much about structural honesty as it is about finishes. Trevor Nash leads every estimate, and the number we put in writing before any work starts is the number you’ll see on the final invoice.

You’re patching the same stucco cracks every summer, your windows fog between the panes, or your family has simply outgrown rooms that were sized for 1962.
What it costs in Westchester
Whole-home remodeling in Westchester typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, how much structural work the concrete block walls require, and finish level.

Home Renovation
Signs you need it
Your terrazzo floors are cracked at the slab joints, your jalousie windows let in both heat and water, or the original kitchen still has a single outlet on one wall.
What it costs in Westchester
A targeted home renovation in Westchester, such as kitchen and bathroom updates without moving walls, typically falls between $9,000 and $45,000 based on the rooms involved.
How we do it
We identify what’s structurally sound and worth keeping, replace what isn’t, and write the whole plan out before demolition so the renovation doesn’t turn into a discovery project at your expense.

How long does a whole-home remodel take in Westchester?
A whole-house remodel in Westchester typically takes 4 to 9 months. Permitting through Miami-Dade County, structural work on concrete block walls, and any rock excavation for foundation or plumbing changes all add time. We give you a written schedule with your written price before work begins.
Will remodeling my Westchester home require a permit?
Almost always, yes. Any structural change, plumbing move, electrical update, or window replacement in Westchester requires a Miami-Dade County permit. We pull all permits for you, schedule inspections, and we don’t close out the job until every inspection passes.

We install and service the brands Westchester homeowners actually ask for: Delta, American Standard, and Toto fixtures in bathrooms, Schluter waterproofing systems in showers, plus cabinet and countertop lines like KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, and Silestone. Common parts are stocked in Miami and arrive fast when a our brands component needs replacement.
